And let’s be real, who hasn’t stared at the ceiling in the wee hours, deep in thought about life’s twists and turns?
One of the most interesting things about “It’s Four in the Morning” is its storytelling prowess. The lyrics paint such a vivid picture that you can almost see the shadows cast by the early morning light and feel the weight of unsaid words hanging in the air. It’s a masterclass in songwriting where every note and word counts.
So, next time you find yourself in a contemplative mood as the clock strikes four, give this song a listen. Let it be the companion that understands your silent musings and wraps around you like a comforting blanket. What do you think? Does it strike a chord with your own late-night thoughts?

Lyrics
It’s four in the morning and once more the dawning
Just woke up the wanting in me
Wishing I’d never met her, knowing if I’d forget her
How much better off she would be
The longer I hold on and the longer this goes on
The harder that it’s gonna be
But it’s four in the morning and once more the dawning
Just woke up the wanting in me
I’ve never deserved her, God knows when I hurt her
That’s the last thing that I want to do
She tries but she can’t tell how she feels
But I know too well what she’s going through
If I love her so much, I don’t know why I can’t do
The right thing and just let her be
But it’s four in the morning and once more the dawning
Just woke up the wanting in me
Last night, I told her this time it’s all over
Making ten times I’ve told her goodbye
Last night we broke up, this morning I woke up
And for the tenth time I’m changing my mind
I saw more love in her eyes when I left her
Than most foolish men will ever see
And it’s four in the morning and once more the dawning
Just woke up the wanting in me
It’s four in the morning and once more the dawning
Just woke up the wanting in me
